 Onivero are a semi-aquatic mammalian species. Their bodies are covered with short fur, which is waterproof much like an otter's. They can come in colors from brown and black, to ginger and white, to even shades such as light blue and pink. Often, Onivero coats are patterned, with stripes or splotches or spots. People have compared the range of patterns to those of cats. Their "hair" is a gelatinous mass that can be shaped at will, with trailing tentacles many have compared to jellyfish. Similar gelatinous, translucent sections can be found on their bodies, with every individual having different translucent spots. Onivero have large eyes and slightly pointed ears, and most other races consider them exceedingly cute - some Onivero enjoy being seen this way and play into the cuteness, and others find it intensely offensive.
-They have three fingers and a thumb on each hand (which resemble paws) and both their hands and feet are webbed. Onivero have tails, which are flat and serve to assist swimming. Despite not truly being able to breathe underwater like their lizardfolk neighbors, they can close their nostrils, use a set of weak gills, and swim underwater for 3-6 hours before needing to resurface. Additionally, they have one or two pairs of horn-like protrusions from their foreheads, which are thought to be organs that assist in projecting psionic power. They range from 4-5 feet tall as adults, and live about 150 years, maturing at about age 20.

 Onivero communities tend towards the smaller size, usually being around 200-500 people - though a few larger cities are thought to exist. Most are communistic, with personal property existing but each individual being expected to share with the community to ensure everyone's survival and comfort. They are rather more technologically advanced than most of Jaern, being more comparable to [[settings:cahyali|Cahyali]] in terms of technology.
+The [[lore:creatures:abysslings|Abysslings]] are longtime enemies of the Onivero, with enmity tracing back to the early 9000s when the Onivero barely managed to suppress an Abyssling incursion which would have been devastating to both shallow-water communities and land-dwellers.
